Influential Kunplome family beaten on home ground

Ittipol Kunplome (L) and Poramet Ngampichet (R)

 

Ittipol Kunplome, an influential Chon Buri politician, suffered a shock defeat at the hands of a lesser-known Future Forward Party candidate.

 

Ittipol and two other Phalang Pracharat Party candidates allied with him were beaten by three Future Forward candidates in what was seen as David vs Goliath fights.

 

Because of his influence, Ittipol, the former mayor of Pattaya City, was assigned to be Chon Buri election director and tasked with managing the campaigns in constituencies 5, 7 and 8.

 

Ittipol ran in Constituency 6, Phansak Ketwattha in Constituency 5 and Poramet Ngampichet in Constituency 7.

 

All the three constituencies were captured by Future Forward candidates.

 

The Kunplome family is influential in the eastern seaboard region, especially Chon Buri. The Prayut Cabinet has earlier appointed Ittipol's brother, Sontaya Kunplome, as an adviser to the prime minister.

 

Interestingly the Phalang Pracharat won in constituencies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 but these constituencies were not under Ittipol.

 

Political observers believe Ittipol and his two candidates were beaten by the Future Forward candidates because Ittipol underestimated the pull of his rivals and his overconfidence led to complacency in campaigning.

Excellent!

Heads will roll, quite literally.

Meanwhile, big brother Sontaya, Prayuth's erstwhile political adviser and recently appointed Mayor of Pattaya, stacked his traditionally strong, Chonburi based Phalang Chon party for this election and despite the 'losses' of his kid brother and two others, successfully delivered Chonburi Province for the junta party by a 5 - 3 margin.

 

Chonburi is still Khunplome country.

 

And now it's Prayuth's as well.

He was the Election Director in two of the constituencies he ran in, and still lost. 

I have to blink.

Well, he was a shit Mayor when he ran Pattaya before wasn't he?

A good business to get into at the moment is bullet proofing Merc's.

There will be a big demand regardless if the unhinged Junta remain in power or the Manchurian Thaksin PTP sneak in.

In the early 1970-80's when Jao Po's. were jockying for power in Chonburi two young  gangster sons of a local Jao Po were taken out on the Sukhumvit hwy with a shoulder mounted rpg. BOOM.

I think it might have been Karmman Po's family.

Anyways its going to get frisky in LOS.

Get all these influental famalies out of any power as they only try to make them richer as they don't care thai people at all!!
